Common Questions About Switching
Will I lose my existing reviews?
No, your existing app reviews stay on your store. Google Customer Reviews runs alongside them and collects new reviews going forward. Many stores run both systems during transition.
Is Google Customer Reviews really free?
Yes, completely free. Google Customer Reviews is a free service from Google to help merchants collect authentic reviews. There are no monthly fees, no per-review charges, and no premium features.
How do customers leave Google reviews?
After purchase, customers receive an email from Google asking for a review. They can review your store and products directly through Google's interface. Reviews appear on Google Search, Shopping, and Maps.
Can I customize the review requests?
Yes, you can customize timing, opt-in behavior, and merchant information. While you cannot change Google's email design (which builds trust), you control when and how customers are invited.
What about photo reviews and videos?
Google Customer Reviews focuses on authentic text reviews and star ratings. If you need photo/video reviews for marketing, you can run both systems - use Google for SEO/trust and apps for visual content.
